Description of organisation

The Stephanus-Stiftung (Stephanus Foundation) is a Protestant charitable foundation that runs over 80 social welfare institutions and residential projects in Berlin and Brandenburg. We offer housing and support for people with disabilities – to children, youth, elderly and families in need. We are active in the fields of education, work, support and recreation.
The nonprofit company “Stephanus gGmbH Wohnen und Assistenz - Living and assistance ” is part of the Stephanus Foundation. The company offers housing and support for children, youth, adults and elderly people with disabilities. The inhabitants normally live there livelong and therefore pass through different stages of living and support with us.
The Stephanus-Stiftung wants to make a contribution towards achieving more equality for people with disabilities in their everyday life while creating more awareness of cultural as well as human diversity, also partly through their work with ESK volunteers since 2011.
